Poppies For Your Birthday

Before I even start, I want to apologize for my pictures!  It's raining cats and dogs (hallelujah!) so I can't go outside, and I left my good camera on for a while last night and the battery is dead and it won't charge, so I had to order a new one!  That means I brought out the old p&s camera and it's just not in the best shape!  That said, let's talk about challenges!  This card is for two challenges . . .

• Daring Cardmakers - Poppies or Gladioli on your card - because those are the birth flowers for August
• Card and a Half Challenge - Extra Challenge #3 - Flowers on your card

And here is my card based on the challenges . . . 

Supply List:

• Base card stock - The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby)
• Patterned paper - Echo Park
• Vintage black rayon ribbon - my stash, another estate sale find
• Image - found online, probably on Flickr
• Sentiment - SRM Stickers

Tools Used:

• Cricut Expression with Walk In My Garden (WIMG) and Elegant Edges (EE) cartridges
• Computer and ink jet printer
• Scissors, craft knife, rotary cutter, ruler

• Yellow gingham paper:  WIMG cartridge, card1 set at 5"

And there is my card!  I think it turned out lovely . . . I especially like the very traditional image with the less than traditional papers.  Thanks for visiting, and please come back soon!  Blessings, Becky
